Back in early April, I made a bet that silver would play catch-up to the vastly outperforming gold complex utilizing an options trader's version of a pairs trade. You can...
Back in October, I put on a bullish position in Cameco ($CCJ). It was a diagonal call calendar spread: I bought January 2026 $80 calls and sold December 2024 $65 calls against them, paying a net debit of $3.50.
One of the best parts about building a trading community isn’t just sharing my own ideas—it’s seeing others take those ideas and make them even better.
Case in point: Yesterday, I closed out a call calendar spread in $AVGO for a solid win. The...
Last week, I got involved in Coinbase as a play on a new alt-season being on the cusp of breaking out. But Coinbase isn't the only brokerage with a chart that looks great.
Another one broke out to a post-IPO high today and I'm getting involved...
More and more stocks are flirting with all time highs. Today's trade has all-timers in sight, as well as a possible Hundred-dolla-roll -- two things that make me incredibly bullish.
With Bitcoin holding high in the 107-108K neighborhood, above last year's resistance, it feels like the stage is being set for another crypto bull. Not just for bitcoin, but for many of the so-called "alt-coins" as well. And today's trade is in the...

The banking sector in Canada is vastly different than the U.S. For one thing, there are far fewer of them! And there's really only a handful that matter.
One of those that matters is currently doing something that matters -- it's breaking out to...
While most of the heavyweights have already reported their quarterly earnings, there are still plenty of names left on the docket. And as always, earnings reports can be a powerful catalyst.
Today's trade is in a $39B leading provider of software solutions for the global life sciences sector that is on the verge of breaking multi-year highs with an eye towards making a run at all-time highs.
Like the rest of the All Star Charts team, I spent last week in New Orleans. It was hot. It was muggy. But the food—oh man, the food—made it all worth it.
I think I hit all the cornerstones of New Orleans cuisine:
I talk all the time about how the options market makers are not stupid. Options are priced the way they are, when they are, because options market makers know what they are doing. Usually.

Going to keep this post short today. I'm writing live from the Portfolio Accelerator event in New Orleans. Our friend Riley Rosebee is presenting as I'm typing and he is talking about stocks in companies The Jetson's would invest in.
Today, I’m headed to New Orleans for our tri-annual Portfolio Accelerator event.
